@LustiZRKZ Haha standard comment these days on youtube. This song is amazing. I'm not really happy about the way he sang it in this version though. But the fact I own all their CD's but maybe dislike 1 vid makes musical culture go in a free fall? :P Just love your music and share it. All the hipsters will join you when you do it right ;)
A big 'Shout Out' for 'DogDwede' for Uploading the BEST `Dire Straits Videos` on YouTube for the entire world to enjoy. Thank you for the best quality and sound, so enjoyable to watch and listen to the Master and the most uniquely talented musicians in the world complimenting each Note !!!! . 'Mark Knopfler' and 'Dire Straits' loved and renowned forever.*** (Bravo DogSwede)***
violetjm., you speak for an awful lot of us, and not just in the US.We were so busy, so righteous, hating the war, we failed the human beings forced to be part of it. The statistics of mental illness and crime among war vets, then and now, is proof of our own inhumanity. Thanks, Mark.

I am a VNam vet.Spent 16 months in country.I came back with no parades, no praise or anything.I even had to take a taxi home. This is as close I have come to someone's appreciation
@RSTETZY - That was a crazy time in the U.S. People didn't know to express thanks to our soldiers. I remember how young and silly I was. We were anti-war, so we all ignored everything and everyone connected with that war. Many people didn't understand the emotions of the returning soldiers. We just didn't have the maturity to try to understand, and to be thankful. Looking back, I regret this so much. You should be thanked, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. All the best to you.

@RSTETZY how are you now,i met some comrades of you long ago in amsterdam,i hope life gave you back what you needed to be happy.We got scars from everywhere,but we have to live on.
when some of the shit we hear today gets too much, all we have to do is think of this..and then we smile, at least we had the privilege to listen to a master like Mark. Thanks for the memories.
arguably the most intense and powerful song ever written and performed... dire straits at their best... and mark knopler proves again what a prolific composer, musician, guitarist, lyricist and POET he is... this is a song filled with emotions... simply bloody amazing! *peacelove*
This is why I never go to concerts. You have very beautiful music, very emotional, very special, and some stoned piece of shit feels a need to add their worthless screams and whistles.
@toadabc I don't go to concerts anymore either, I just buy them on DVD if I can and then I don't have to listen to some dizzy drunk bimbo scream. As much as concerts cost, you would think people would be interested in actually hearing the band instead of themselves. This song deals with a serious, somber subject and the screamers only show their ignorance.
One of the best performances ever of one of the most powerful songs ever.
Some of Mark Knopfler's songs are as perfect expressions of both protest & political / spiritual movements as ever; certainly at least the equal of anything that acknowledged master of the form Bob Dylan, or any other "protest song" singers of the 60s, ever put out.
So why isn't he universally credited w/ that?
This isn't a rhetorical question, or snark -- I really want to know. Anyone know of any reason?
@smartalek1 ...sorry, this response is a year late but I saw your comment just now... we all wonder why Mark's genius isn't as widely acclaimed as the other musicians. Maybe because for a rock star he is "normal" by worldly standards,i.e., no scandals, no drugs, no hideous facial make-ups, no outrageous stage movements, no gimmicks...nothing but pure beautiful music.....
@Pippin1505 On the recording of On the Night show de guitar overdrive from Knopfler's guitar is stronger than here where the sound is smother than the On The Night version.
reason being-pensa guitar has srtings and frets are further apart than a les paul making it easier to play pensa with this song.both have a great sound.keep up the good work mark-god bless you...
not always, a night in london is played with les paul and is one of the best versions. It's true that pensa is the guitar used at On the Night, and no doubt that is the best version that
la magie de MK va toujours opérer, tout l'émotion qu'il met dans chaque note, dans chaque syllabe de ses mots, l'intensité dans son regard, tout ça ne peut pas disparaître, et c'est pourquoi ses chansons resteront parmi les meilleures jamais entendues.
